Ingredients
5 bunches Bok choy
Sea salt to taste
Garlic Sauce
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine
1 tablespoon white sugar or honey
½ teaspoon ground white pepper
2/3 cup chicken stock
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2 teaspoons corn flour
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
8 cloves garlic, peeled, finely chopped
8 sprigs fresh coriander to garnish
METHOD
In a mixing bowl combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar, pepper, chicken stock, sesame oil and cornflour. Whisk until combined.
Heat a wok or frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the oil and stir fry the garlic for 1–2 minutes, then pour in the sauce mixture. Bring up to a simmer and allow to reduce for 3–4 minutes, or until glossy. Set aside and keep warm.
Slice the Bok choy in half then wash well to remove any dirt. Bring a large pot of salted water up to the boil. Blanch the Bok choy for 1–2 minutes, or until just cooked. Remove with a slotted spoon and allow to drain then arrange on a serving plate.
Spoon the garlic sauce over the Bok choy then garnish with coriander before serving.
